This series continues in 2015 with the 8th year
of environmental films not normally seen in
mainstream cinemas. They will be presented in
a “mid-screen format” (smaller than a theater but
much bigger than a large screen TV) following
a hearty winter feast in our dining room. Each
film is selected on the basis of a thought-provoking environmental topic or
for breath taking cinematography. A discussion on the environmental themes
and implications presented in the movies will follow. Join us for a fun and
